Ukrainan konflikti/sota

Ukrainian officials have accused Russian forces of seizing “over 2,000 artworks” from museums in the occupied city of Mariupol and moving the pieces to areas of the Russian-controlled Donbas region.

“The occupiers ‘liberated’ Mariupol from its historical and cultural heritage. They stole and moved more than 2,000 unique exhibits from museums in Mariupol to Donetsk,” the Mariupol city council said in a statement posted on its Telegram channel on Thursday.

They said the haul includes several original works by the 19th-century Mariupol native Arkhip Kuindzhi and the famed Russian romantic painter Ivan Aivazovsky as well as a unique handwritten Torah scroll, and the Gospel of 1811 made by the Venetian printing house for the Greeks of Mariupol.

“Mariupol city council is preparing materials for law enforcement agencies to initiate criminal proceedings and make an appeal to Interpol,” the council added.

In a separate statement, Petro Andriushchenko, a member of the city council, said Russia seized three original paintings by Kuindzhi, who gained international fame for his portraits of the Russian landscape.

According to the Mariupol city council, the works came from the three local museums, including the Kuindzhi art museum, which was heavily damaged during a Russian airstrike on 21 March 2022.

Natalia Kapustnikova, director of the Mariupol Local History museum, told the pro-Kremlin outlet Izvestiya that she handed over the works of Aivazovsky and Kuindzhi to the Russian forces “following the end of the hostilities”.

“The head of the Kuindzhi art museum hid the paintings when the war started. I knew where they were … They were then moved to safety,” she said.

Moscow has largely taken control of the south-eastern port city of Mariupol, which has been razed to rubble by Russian bombs. An estimated 2,000 Ukrainian troops and up to 1,000 civilians are still holed up in the besieged Azovstal steel plant on the outskirts of the city.

If confirmed, the art seizure in Mariupol would signify the first known instance of mass cultural looting by Russian forces since the start of the war.

Toivottavasti näistä teoksista on olemassa kuvat ja tunnisteet.
 
Pystyyköhän niillä jenkkien miehittämättömillä veneillä laskemaan kuuntelulaitteita/ohjautuvia torpedoja?
Enpä tiedä millaisia nämä Ukrainalle lähetetyt ovat. Muistelen että jotkut heidän miehittämättömät alukset oli tehty sukellusveneiden seurantaa varten.
 
Täällä joku mietti eilen, että katsooko Venäjällä kukaan näitä venäjän keskusteluohjelmia jotka meidän silmiin näyttää komedialta. Toisella foorumilla kysyttiin eräältä joka saa tietoja suoraan Venäjältä niin kyllä näitä kuulemma katsoo ja iso osa myös uskoo. Samaa paskaa kuulemma eri ohjelmissa, että tuo ei ole ainut. Sitä myös syötetään jatkuvasti enemmän. Jotku sen läpi näkee vaan taitavat olla enimmäkseen some nuorisoa tai paremmin koulutettua väkeä jotka nähneet muutakin maailmaa.

Kas se on paskaa kovin koreassa paketissa, joten pakkohan siitä ainakin joku osa on olla totta...
 
Russian intelligence was behind a chemical attack on Dmitry Muratov, the Nobel peace prize-winning editor of the Russian independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, US officials have said.

Muratov has previously said he boarded a train on 18 April heading from Moscow to the city of Samara when he was splashed with red paint containing acetone by an attacker who told him: “Muratov, this is for you from our boys.”

At the time, the veteran journalist posted on his Telegram channel photographs of his face and body covered in red oil paint, saying his eyes were “burning terribly” after the assault.

The US declassified intelligence assessment, first reported by the Washington Post, concluded that the operatives were working for unnamed Russian spy services.
Hours after the train attack on Muratov, a pro-Russian military telegram channel called “Union Z paratroopers” claimed responsibility for the incident, posting footage of the attack online.

According to an English translation of the post, the group vowed to “come after” those supporting what it claimed were lies about alleged atrocities that took place in the Ukrainian town of Bucha, outside Kyiv.

“As we promised, in the near future our veterans will remind the ‘great patriots’ that the blood of our Glorious Sons will not go unanswered. You, bastards, write about the Ukrainian-invented ‘Bucha tragedy’ and support this lie, but you don’t notice how our guys’ throats are cut! We will come after all of you, just wait!!!,” read the group’s statement, which has since been deleted.

A Novaya Gazeta investigation also linked the attack to the Union Z paratroopers group, identifying one of the alleged attackers as the Russian far-right activist Nikolai Trifonov.

Pavel Kanygin, a former Novaya Gazeta journalist and longtime colleague of Muratov, said it was “very likely” the country’s security services were behind the assault.

“I believe the American intelligence is correct. I am 100% sure this sort of attack can’t happen without the prior knowledge and approval of Russia’s security services,” Kanygin said.

“The fact that Trifonov has not yet been investigated further shows the authorities condone these actions,” Kanygin added.
 
Onhan tuo aikamoinen Feenix, yritetty tosissaan kuopata ilmavoimien johdon taholta ja vakavissaan. Ei oikein F-16 tai F-35 toimisi samassa roolissa...
Joku sotilasilmailua oikeasti seuraava voi korjata tarvittaessa, mutta minusta se viimeisin päätös on, että A-10:t modernisoidaan runkoja myöten. US Army ei USAF:n haihatteluista huolimatta yksinkertaisesti sulattanut näistä koneista luopumista, koska jokainen taistelussa ollut mosuri vannoi näiden nimeen. Jokainen tiesi mikä ero sillä on tuleeko ilmatukipyyntöä suorittamaan hävittäjäpommittaja vai A-10, ja jokainen halusi Warthogin.
 
Moskovan asukeilta vähän järkevämpiä kommentteja vaihteeksi
Katsoin yhden tämäntapaisen videon jossa Moskovassa ihmisiltä kysyttiin minkä maan Venäjän pitäisi valloittaa. Suurin osa oli sitä mieltä ettei mitään tarvisi valloittaa. Ainakin nuoremmissa ihmisissä näyttäisi olevan sellaisia jotka pärjäisivät ihan hyvin nykyisen kokoisen Venäjän kanssa. Kehittämistä voisi tehdä muilla alueilla kuin valtion pinta-alan lisäämisessä. Ehkä ne on nämä vanhimmat ikäluokat jotka haikailevat sinne kylmänsodan aikoihin jolloin NL oli suurimmillaan.

Scoop: Biden admin has a plan to rob Putin of some of his best innovators by waiving a certain visa requirement for highly educated Russians who want to come to the U.S. Story out soon, with @AlbertoNardelli

NEWS: Biden admin working on ways to lure Russian scientists — one idea is to drop a rule so that Russians with master’s or PhD in science, tech, engineering or math can get an employment-based visa to come to US even if they don’t a current employer.

Specifically, the Biden admin wants to snag Putin’s top-tier experts who have experience with semiconductors, space, cybersecurity, advanced manufacturing, nuclear, artificial intelligence, missile propulsion, and other specialized scientific areas.
